Slickness

No she hasn't, Madonna has been overseas the last 2 years, you notice the amount of attention she gets when shes out and about, look at Brazil and the amount of people standing outside of her hotel to get a view, look at the government officals/poliitcians who attended and don't even like her who attended, I believe she was even given a special key or made a special citizen. Taylor was over there and didn't get anywhere near the attention. The video of her Italy for her birthday is another example, as well as her other tour stops in Spain, London where they flew a special flag for her outside the royal palace and had her lyrics of her songs spread thoughout the city with neon lights. I also remember 30, 000 people showing up at the airport to see her in the UK and her pepsi commercial which had over 240 million in ratings. Who's reacting this to Taylor like this?

Yes, Asia is where most of the manipulating streams come from, even the Chinese government said you can't trust the info coming from them in regards of sales. Japan is the only country that has an open market with charts and sales and Taylor doesn't do that well over there as one would think which is why her fans are so dismissive of Japan. You would be hard pressed to find sales for most international artist in China and other places which is why I found it hard to believe that we got sales from Taylor regarding some of her albums, they claimed one of her albums sold over million there but it was later discovered she signed a contract with someone and return they agreed to do a write up claiming she sold over a million. Atrl.net has a large asian fanbase and they talk about alot of this stuff.

Agreed, only she is really benefiting from her success and I would argue it's more her mom and dad who are behind everything, she's the puppet. She's been the industry now for how many years and has how many albums, where is this classic song of hers? Can anyone see Anti hero being played 30 years from now? She can only keep up this pr game for a certain time period, her whole image is based off the media who has hyped her up and covers for her but we all know when they get tired of her and they always do (Britney,Michael, Whitney etc) she's going to have a diffcult time. This is the same person who laid low for 6 years because of Kim and Kayne and that wasn't even that bad. People need to remember the media has always made more money and ratings from someone down fall, there is only so much they can do with this person is great and wonderful, they want blood.

If you go to the UKmix forum Madonna stuff is still charting globally/selling and her streams continue to go up.

Outside the UK she has abotu 1-2 hit singles in Germany and France and that's about it, is the person who were comparing to Madonna dominated throughout Europe? This is just some of Madonna success in Europe: I think it's comical how you're using the "in the last century" excuse for Madge as if that doesn't dismiss the first 20 years of her career Regardless, she was the #1 female in the 20th century and is #3 in 21 century (2000-2022) in the UK. Who else did it like her from her generation? - She is both the most successful female artist in the RPM charts and in the Music & Media charts of continental Europe of all time. - She has the longest-charting #1 album of all time in Europe (34 weeks). - Has the most #1's out of any artist in history in Europe. - More chart entries in Europe than any other artist in history. - Highest-grossing female tour in Europe (for 17 years and counting now). - Best-selling non-Francophone international female artist. - Highest attended show ever in France. - Best-selling international female artist in Germany. - More #1 albums in Germany than any other artists. - Most successful singles artist in German history. - Best-selling album by a foreign artist in Italy. - More #1's in Italy than any other artist. - Highest attended show ever in Italy. - Most #1's in the Netherlands by any artist in history. - Best-selling compilation album (solo and female artist) in the UK. - #1 female of all time in the UK (last update January 2023) - Highest-grossing solo show in Wembley stadium. - More #1 albums in the UK than any other female artist. - Most times for a female artist to simultaneously top the UK singles and albums charts in the UK. - First female artist to dominate year-end singles and albums charts in the UK. - Most #1's in Spain out of any artist in history. - Most #1's in Ireland out any artist in history. - fastest-selling show of all time in Estonia. - fastest-selling show of all time in Romania. - fastest selling show of all time in Portugal. - biggest show of all time in Switzerland. - biggest show ever in Czech Republic. - largest audience ever for a Nordic country. - largest music concert in the history of Iberian Peninsula.

Outside of a few places she doesn't sell well or chart well either. In Austria where she had to cancel her show, she has sold very little albums there and has never charted well in that country despite selling out shows there. U2 has been one of the most succesful touring acts for decades now and so has the stones but when is the last time they had a successful album or hit single. Her tour for most overseas is just something that people are going to, in fact in some of the places she toured the crowd was mostly Americans not the locals who went to see her, an example is in Spain she sold out shows but has like 2 hits singles from years ago and 1 album that charted well over there.

I would also like to add no one cares about cultural impact at least the younger generation, their all about numbers. One has to ask why did Taylor sign a contract with Iheart to play her songs 24/7 for a week to inflate her sales? She still fell a million short from breaking Adele record who did it naturally since then she released 40 different variants to help sell the record that would've dropped off the charts a longtime ago. She manipulates alot of this and again I think it will catch up with her.

No she hasn't, Madonna has the most number 1 singles and top 10 globally for any artist and still has the most number 1 albums for any female artist globally. In Japan alone she has 25 number 1 singles which is more than any artist on there billboard chart. True Blue is also the best selling album in Brazil, and she's also sold more albums there for any international act, she also still holds the record for attendance with 120,000, in fact Madonna overall attendance is 131, 000 in France and Taylor is 96,000 in Australia. My point is Madonna is globally more successful than her, Taylor wouldn't even be in the top 50 most succesful act in most of these countries including sales. I also believe on the US billboard despite all of Taylor tricks which I think will come back and bite her Madonna is still number 1 for solo act behind the Beatles. But I do blame Madonna team for not updating alot of her records/sales in Guinness and they barely promote her legacy.
